Due to our security policy at work we aren't allowed to have message or e-mail previews enabled on any phone. Honestly I don't like them anyway as someone could see your private information without even needing to unlock the phone. Given this, I have always had mine messaging preview option disabled. I would get a message and the blue light would blink and that was the only indication. Since taking 4.4.2 yesterday I get a notification on my lock screen that doesn't divulge any information other that "MESSAGING" as far as the content or who it's from, but I would like to completely remove this all together. I have searched online high and low and I do not have the "preview message" option enabled at all. Given this, has anyone successfully got that lock screen notification to go away? I read another post and someone said it is defaulted to appear in KitKat, can someone confirm?
